Once Kate Upton came out on attack in support of her fiancé Justin Verlander, scolding two voters who left the Tigers’ starting pitcher off their ballots entirely, it was predictable that she’d get some pushback.

A little less predictable was that the Twitter war would be between Verlander and Mark Feinsand, a New York Daily News writer who didn’t have a vote in the Cy Young derby in which Verlander, who had the most first-place votes, lost to Boston’s Rick Porcello.

Feinsand used his column to jump into the fray, defending Bill Chastain and Fred Goodall for having spent their votes elsewhere than on Verlander.

“With all due respect to Kate Upton,” he wrote, “it’s time for her and everybody else to pipe down.”

That didn’t sit well with Verlander, who went to Twitter to tell Feinsand “She wasn’t upset about me losing. That’s fine. But turning in a ballot b4 the season ends?! Her point was that they were uninformed. That they turned in their ballot a week early only validated her point.”

Beyond that, Verlander tweeted “also if you `don’t disagree’ where do you get off telling anyone to `pipe down.’”
